Load Structural Welds - Intergraph Smart WQMS - 6 - Help - Hexagon PPM

1. Click the Welds module.

2. Click Load Data .

3. Select the required file and click Open. The software loads welds from an Excel file into the UI and create components into Weld Quality Management System.

4. In the search bar, enter *, select any filter criteria, and click Refresh .

   The software displays all the ISO/Drawing Numbers that satisfy the filter criteria.

   If you want particular drawing numbers to be displayed in the ISO/Drawing No list:

   • Copy the ISO/Drawing numbers from the Excel sheet and paste them in the Search bar. After you paste the drawing numbers in the Search bar, they are separated with the | symbol.

     For example, If you copy two drawing numbers from the Excel sheet and paste them in the Search bar, the drawing numbers appear as as HXN81X-S91011-IS030015|HXN81X-S91011-IS030016 separated with the | symbol.

   • In the Search bar, type the ISO/Drawing number in the format below:

     *last two digits of the drawing number* or *Drawing number pattern*

     For example, if the drawing number is HXN81X-S91011-IS030015, in the Search bar, type *15* or type *S91011*. Then only the drawing numbers related to the pattern will be displayed in the ISO/Drawing No list.

     This is applicable to all the modules of Weld Quality Management System where ever there is a filter criteria for ISO/Drawing numbers.

5. Select an ISO from the list, and all the welds on that ISO are displayed in the table.

6. After loading welds, click Refresh . The weld components are generated for each weld.

7. Select an ISO from list. All the welds related to that ISO are displayed in the table.

8. Click Refresh . All the weld components related to the welds loaded in structural welds are visible in UI.

9. Select a weld and click Accept Item .

10. Select the required inspection process and click Save. The software accepts the weld in that specific inspection process.

11. Select a weld and click Reject Item .

12. Select Re-weld or Repair Segment.

    • Repair Segment: If you select repair segment and select the required inspection process and click Save, the software rejects the weld in that specific inspection process. The weld is disabled and a new weld with joint number of the original weld and suffix _RX is created (where X is the number of repair segments)

    • Re-weld: If you select re-weld and select the required inspection process and click Save, the software rejects the weld in that specific inspection process. The weld is disabled and a new weld with joint number of the original weld and suffix _CX is created (where X is the number of re-welds)

13. Select a weld and Click Assign Welders .

14. Select a weld and click Delete with status update . Click OK and the status of the weld is changed to Deleted and the weld is disabled in UI.

15. Click Add Item . The software adds a new empty row in the GUI.

16. Enter the following mandatory properties and click Save.

    • Weld Number

    • Drawing 1 Number

    • Drawing 1 Revision, Module

    • Component1 ID

    • Component2 ID

      A new weld is created with the entered weld number and components with component IDs. Component1 ID and Component2 ID are created in Weld Components module.

Assign Welders

To enable this feature with conditions, you must do the following:

• Configure Assignment rule map def. For more information, refer to Configure the conditions for Production and Tracer welds.

• Do not change the rule map Def ID.

• Welds process and WPS must be in read-only mode in the Welds and Welder Assignment column sets.

• Welder assignment with conditions can be done only through UI.

1. Select a weld and click Assign Welders .

2. In the ASSIGN MULTIPLE WELDERS dialog box, click the list, select the required option (Welder ID, Name, company, status, discipline, and so forth), select the welding process, and then click Refresh .

   The list of qualified welders for the selected welding process appears.

   

   The software maps the welder data with the welder assignment conditions and logic mentioned on the AssignmentRulesMapDef sheet of WQMS-Admin file and extracts the details into the software. For more information on welder assignment conditions on the AssignmentRulesMapDef sheet, refer to the Configure the conditions for Production and Tracer welds.

3. Select the welder ID and click the right arrow to move the welder ID to the selected list and click Save. The welder is assigned to the weld.

4. To un-assign a welder, select the welder from the selected list and click the left arrow and click Save.

Assign Tracer Welds

If a weld is rejected for the welder and there are other welds done by the same welder, they are automatically assigned as tracer welds during the weld rejection.

• A maximum of two welds are assigned automatically as tracer welds. You can also manually choose the tracer welds for the rejected welds from the UI at a later stage.

• Tracer welds can be assigned automatically in the configured modules.

• Enable assign Tracer Welds icon through Fabrication Security Excel file. The Is Tracerweld column must be enabled in Piping-Welds column set.

• Is NDT Required column must be present in Welds Column set. NDT can be RTE, UTE, and so forth.

1. Navigate to Piping > Welds

2. Click Assign Tracer Welds icon . The ASSIGN TRACER WELD FOR THE REJECTED WELD dialog box appears.

3. Select the drawing number and click Refresh . Rejected welds for different welders are displayed.

   

4. Select the rejected weld from the rejected welds list and click Refresh in the bottom table. If there are any other welds done by the same welder, they are displayed in the bottom table.

5. Select the welds and click Save to assign as tracer welds.

   A maximum of two welds can be selected as tracer welds.

Conditions to assign the welds as Tracer Welds

1. The weld status on the weld must be valid or empty.

2. The WPS number on the rejected weld must match the WPS number of the other welds done by the same welder.

3. The IS NDT Required box on the weld must be empty.

4. Welds selected for the tracer welds must be of the same discipline.

5. The visual inspection date for the weld must not be empty, or the weld must be accepted for the visual inspection.

6. If the weld is already assigned as a tracer weld, it is not displayed on the Assign Tracer Weld for the Rejected Weld page.

7. The first two welds done by the welder are not displayed on the Assign Tracer Weld for the Rejected Weld page.
